The members had decided not to wait up too late for their maknae's  after Taehyung had texted Jin that they'd be home later than expected.  They all figured the two would be fine, but left their phones on high  volume during the night incase one of them called or texted needing  anything. Hobi woke up to go to the bathroom, and decided to pop his  head into the room Taehyung and Jungkook shared to check that they made  it back safely. His heart dropped when he opened the door to see neither  of his maknae's in their beds. He started roaming around the dorm to  see if they were somewhere else, " Kookie? TaeTae?" he started to panic  when he couldn't find them. He ran into the room that Jin shared with  Namjoon and Yoongi, "Guys wake up!" he shouted and switched their lights  on.

"Ah ! Hobi what are you doing?! " Yoongi hated being woke up.

"They aren't home yet. Did they say what time they'd be home?" Hobi was frantic.

Now all of them were in slight panic, "Tae just said later than  usual," Jin checked his phone, it was almost 3 AM " but they should have  been back by now."

"Maybe they just went out to grab food somewhere afterwards or  something?" Yoongi tried to not think the worst. The rest of the members  checked their phones to see if they had any missed calls or texts from  either of them while Hobi ran in to wake Jimin up.

"Jimin! Did Jungkook or Taehyung text you at all since they left?" Jimin was still half asleep, he checked his phone, "No, why?"

"They didn't make it home yet..."

Jimin shot out of his bed and ran into the living room where the rest  of them had gathered. Everyone was panicking as they knew it wasn't  like the two to not call or text them to let them know what they were up  to. Jin tried calling both of their phones but neither of them picked  up.

Jin sent a text to a group chat with both Taehyung and Jungkook.

jinjamhyung 🦧 : "Where are you two??? Hyungs are worried  worried!! Call or text someone let us know where you are!! should have  been home by now!! "

Jimin threw  himself into Namjoon's arms and started crying, "What if  they're dead?! They were probably in a car accident! What if our babies  are dead?!"

Yoongi walked over to Jimin and smacked his arm, " Why the hell would you say that?! They  said it was far away maybe they got lost?!" Yoongi was failing to hide  his own anxiety.  Jin went onto the internet to look up if there had  been any car accidents in any towns within a 2 hour radius because they  didn't know what town the haunted house was in after Taehyung said it  was further away, there hadn't been any serious ones besides a few  fender benders.

"Well there's nothing here about any serious car accidents," Jin told  the group, they all felt a little relieved but then started having  other worries. Were they kidnapped?

Jin remembered Aarons phone number and called it to see if he knew  what happened, but Aaron never picked up. So he texted Aaron .

[****]: "Hi it's Jin. Taehyung and Jungkook are missing. Do you  know where they are? Should have been home a while ago and should have  been with you. let me know."

Everyone froze when they heard the dorm phone start ringing, they ran  to it but all their chests filled with fear when nobody recognized the  phone number on the caller ID. The phone kept ringing as everyone was  too afraid to answer it. Jimin started crying again, "They're dead."  Yoongi smacked him again.

"Jin you're the oldest you pick it up," Hobi demanded. 

"Fine.."

Jin picked up the phone and put it on speaker.

"...Hello?"

A woman's voice was on the other end.

"Hello, is this the residence of Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook?"

Everyone was holding their breath, but already crying. Jin answered the woman,

"...Yes, this is where they live..are they okay..?"

"This is Shelby from Brigton County Hospital, I'm sorry to tell you  that Mr. Taehyung and Mr. Jungkook have both been involved in a serious  accident. They were both brought into our ICU by emergency vehicles a  few hours ago and have remained unresponsive with extensive injuries."

Everyone started hyperventilating and sobbing, Hobi ran to the sink  and threw up in it. Jimin started screaming, " I told you! I told you  they were in a car accident!!"

The woman on the other end spoke up. "Sir, it wasn't a car accident.  They were both directly transported from Brigton County Jail. The  paramedics said they were both unconscious on the ground outside. It  would appear they have both been severely assaulted."

If hearts were made of glass you would have heard all the members  hearts shatter on the floor. Through his sobbing Jin asked the woman,  "Jail? They were never at a jail. They were at a haunted house. How were  they picked up at a jail?" He looked around to see all the other  members on the floor crying into each others arms.

"Forget that for now, what the hell happened to them?!"

The woman answered him, " I am not allowed to give full details over  the phone. How fast can you get to the hospital?" Jin put the hospital  into GPS.

"In 2 hours," he hung up on the woman and collapsed to the floor with  the rest of his members. They all hugged eachother and cried. How could  someone have hurt their maknae's? They're too pure and innocent to get  hurt.

"We have to get to them. Now." Jin cried. With everyone  still in pajamas, they all got their shoes on and got ready to get in  the car. Jimin ran into the maknae's bedroom and grabbed Jungkook's  favorite bear that he always slept with, one that Taehyung had made him  as a birthday present. He also grabbed Taehyung's favorite stuffed  puppy, which was a present Jungkook had made him randomly one year.

The  drive to the hospital was the most painful drive the members could ever  possibly take. They were all in tears, Jin was trying not to cry too  hard as he had to focus on driving. They were all still trying to  comprehend how all of this happened, how did they get hurt, and why the  hell were they found at some random jail? Who the hell hurt them?! They  hoped and wished for the two to be okay. Jimin was clutching onto both  the stuff animals tightly, and crying into them. He wanted to hug his  maknae's more than anything in the world. When they finally arrived at  the hospital, they all jumped out of the car and ran inside, right up to  the front desk. Yoongi wasn't trying to waste any time, " Where are  they? Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook, where are they?!" he was yelling  at the receptionist.

A doctor walked over to them, " You guys are here for both Mr. Taehyung and Mr. Jungkook?"

"Yes" they all said in unison.

"All five of you...? May I ask your relation?" the doctor asked.

"We're their brothers. Now where are they? We want to see them" Yoongi was sick of all the small talk.

"Mr.  Taehyung can't have visitors right now. Mr. Jungkook just woke up about  half an hour ago and you may see him after I speak with you."

Jimin  started screaming at the doctor, "What happened to them?! Why can't we  see TaeTae?! What happened to TaeTae?! We want to see them now you can  talk to us after!!"

Namjoon gestured for Jimin to  calm down and they all went into a room together. The doctor explained  to the members what their injuries were.

"Mr.  Taehyung has been placed in a medically induced coma, when paramedics  found him he was laying unconscious on top of Mr. Jungkook. He has  several broken ribs and one pierced into his lungs and stopped him from  breathing, however we did emergency surgery when he arrived and  restructured his rib cage. He also is covered in severe lacerations that  he needed a multitude of stitches for. They looked like they were  caused by some kind of whip or belt. We also did emergency surgery for  severe internal bleeding , and he is also covered in a number of  bruises. It would appear he was strangled, as there is a ring of  bruising around his neck. We have him in a medically induced coma  because right now it's best he stays asleep until his body heals more.  He isn't in the clear yet but he's pulling through. "

The  members sobs could be heard throughout the entire hospital. Hobi was  throwing up again, this time in a trash can. "When can we see TaeTae?!"  Jimin was a mess as he clutched the two stuffed animals, "I have to give  him Pup-Pup. He can't sleep without holding Pup-Pup." The members  looked at Pup-Pup and cried even harder. Taehyung hasn't slept a single  night without the stuffed animal Jungkook made him and if he ever forgot Pup-Pup he'd just cuddle Jungkook all night instead. 

"We  will keep him monitored and let you know. It is hard to say right now  when we will let people in to see him. I can give him Pup-Pup for you if  you want." The doctor reached out to take the stuffed animal, but Jimin  hesitated before slowly offering it to the doctor.

Namjoon spoke up, " And what about Jungkookie? Is he okay? You said we can see him now?"

"Mr.  Jungkook suffered similar injuries, but some not as severe. He has  slight internal bleeding but will not need surgery, however we will  continue to monitor it. His chest and stomach are covered in 2nd degree  burns. He also has bruises around his neck, which tells us he was  strangled as well. One of his ribs was cracked but upon X-Ray it was a  hairline crack and he won't need surgery either. He did experience a  head injury, he has a small fracture in the front of his skull and he  needed stitches. He was unresponsive when paramedics found him and just  recently woke up. Don't be surprised if he doesn't talk . Many patients  who experience physical trauma are too in shock to speak. Don't be alarmed if he doesn't remember anything that happened. Also please be  aware that when you enter he is currently hooked up to a lot of  machines for monitoring, please don't be intimidated. It seems this one had his own guardian angel looking after him."

Hobi was offended, "That guardian angel's name is Taehyung."

The  doctor ignored the comment and saw Jimin still clutching the stuffed bear, "And who is this one?"  he asked gently. "Winter Bear," Jimin replied through tears "Taehyungie  made Winter Bear for Jungkookie. Can we please see him now?"

The doctor led them all to Jungkook's room, "I'll let you guys have some alone time with him. I'll be back to check on him. If you need anything, there is a red button next to the lightswitch, press it to contact the front desk," the doctor walked away leaving them alone to enter Jungkook's room. They were all too scared to be the first one in.

"I answered the phone call, someone else should go in first," Jin demanded. Yoongi wasn't trying to waste time and wanted to see his maknae, so he burst through the door. All the members were now in the room and stopped frozen when they saw the state Jungkook was in. Hobi suddenly ran to the nearest trashcan and threw up again.

"Our poor Jungkookie..." Jin cried when he saw him. Machines, so many machines. Jungkook had fallen back asleep and looked like a dead body just hooked up to machines. Multiple IV's in his arms, a heart monitor across his chest, he had multiple bandages covering where his stitches were. They saw the bruises around his neck and all over his body. He also needed an oxygen mask to help him breathe. He just lay there, looking lifeless. So many wires. It was quiet, the room was only filled with the sound of crying and beeping machines. They all stared at the screen that was monitoring his heartbeat. It seemed really slow, but that was because he had been medicated. They were just glad to see he had a heartbeat. Jimin slowly walked up to him and placed Winter Bear next to him on the bed and held his hand. Everyone now gathered around his bed and cried. They didn't know it was humanly possible to feel this kind of pain. Jungkook looked so weak and broken, the complete opposite of who he was. Hobi started gently rubbing his maknae's arm, making sure to avoid all the wires he was attached to. Everyone was silent for a little, then Jimin felt Jungkook's hand tighten around his own.

"Kookie?" he asked and gently ran his fingers through Jungkook's hair. Everyone gasped when they saw Jungkook slowly start opening his eyes and looking around at them all.

"Hey,"they all said to him. Everyone spoke very quietly and softly. They didn't want to scare him. Without saying anything, Jungkook looked around at all his members, and silent tears fell from his eyes. He tried to clear his throat and in the softest whisper asked, "Where is he? Is he dead?"

Everyone froze when they realized not only did Jungkook just speak, but if he was asking about Taehyung that means he remembered what happened. Jimin ran his fingers through his hair again, "Jungkookie..." he stopped talking when he was caught off guard by Jungkook's heart monitor starting to beep faster. In a louder and more panicked whisper he asked, "Is he dead?!"

"No no no no. Kookie, he's not dead," Yoongi spoke up before Jungkook had the chance to panic. Jungkook let out a sigh of relief and the heart monitor slowed back down. He shut his eyes again, but asked, "Where is he? ...Is he okay?... I want to see him."

Jin started rubbing his fingers down Jungkook's chin, "Listen to me. Taehyung isn't dead, but he's very hurt." Jin needed a second to collect his breath through his tears, "He won't be awake for a while and can't have visitors. It might be a bit before any of us can see him."

The heart monitor skipped a beat, and the members realized they just physically saw Jungkook's heart breaking, which made all theirs break even more too. Through more silent tears and closed eyes, Jungkook let out another whisper, "I'm sorry."

"No no no no ," all the members said in unison. "Jungkookie you have nothing to be sorry for. You didn't do anything wrong okay? Neither you or Taehyungie did anything wrong, " Hobi tried to reassure him that he wasn't to blame for him or Taehyung getting hurt.

Jungkook was using a lot of energy to get his words out, "I did. I mean it is. I mean...My fault. I brought him there. I'm the one who brought him there. I tried to protect hi-" he choked over his own words as he began to cry harder. He wanted to hold Winter Bear but was too weak to grab him. Jimin placed the bear in Jungkook's arms and he hugged it. Everyone wanted to embrace him in a hug but they didn't know if they were allowed to, he looked too fragile for that. Like if someone even touched him too hard he'd shatter.

Yoongi didn't know how much longer Jungkook would be able to stay awake, and he wanted answers. "Jungkook, do you know where you are right now?" he asked.

"A hospital."

"Do you know where?"

"No."

"Do you remember where, or what town the haunted house was in?"

"Brigton County. The house didn't have a name."

"Do you-" Namjoon cut Yoongi off, "Yoongi-hyung not right now, he's tired. Let him rest."

Yoongi ignored him, "Do you remember the address?"

To everyone's shock, he did remember the address. Yoongi googled the address. The only thing that popped up was Brigton County Jail, which sent everyone into a swarm of confusion when the internet said the jail was still actively housing prisoners. Yoongi wanted to ask more questions, "Kookie do you-" he stopped when he looked up to see his maknae had already fallen back asleep.

Hobi went over and hit the red button to call the front desk, and asked for the doctor to come up. The doctor came in and Hobi asked him, "So has anyone called the police yet? Why aren't the police here? Someone assaulted them that badly, so the police are searching for those people right?" The rest of the members were also curious as to why the police hadn't been called yet.

"I actually just got off the phone with police, it seems there is nothing they can do about this." They all moved into the hallway for further discussion.

The members were livid, "Nothing they can do?! These people should be in jail for attempted murder! Why aren't the police doing anything?!" Namjoon was yelling at the doctor.

"The police looked into the report and it seems as though the two participated in a program where they consented to the approval of being assaulted."

"Consented to the approval?! They never consented to anything! They were just going to a haunted house and they were physically attacked. How is there approval for that?! We were with them up until they left, they never consented approval to being hurt! They would never do something like that." Jin was livid that nothing was being done about his two babies being almost killed at the hands of psychos.

The doctor told them he would call the police back to tell them the two hadn't consented. He left and came back about twenty minutes later. "I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you. The officer I spoke to said that both Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook were on their entrance list for their program because they both signed their digital waiver consenting to participate in their program."

"What damn program?! What waiver?! They didn't sign any digital waiv-" Yoongi stopped and looked at the rest of the members. They all thought the same thing.

Aaron.

"Call the police back! They didn't consent to whatever the damn program was! They were tricked into signing a different waiver and their signatures were forged! That's illegal isn't it?! They never consented to it! Someone tricked them! We were all sitting right next to them, the only digital waiver they signed was for a haunted house! Look it up it's called Hylit Fright, but that waiver was fake!" Yoongi was furious. He wanted Aaron in handcuffs immediately.

The doctor went to call the police back and asked that an officer be sent to the hospital to speak to the guys. After about twenty minutes, a police offered arrived and they all went into a small private waiting room.

"Sir. Taehyung and Jungkook never consented to whatever the hell program you're talking about." Yoongi was pissed. The police man pulled out two pieces of paper and placed them on the table. It was copies of the digitally signed waivers. "According to these papers, the two did sign off on it."

The members all quickly grabbed the papers to read what the hell their two youngest had gotten themselves into.

~Brigton County Jail/Asylum Program Consent Form~

[Brigton County Jail is home to some of the most notorious criminals in South Korea. Home to many murderers, arsonists, and more. These prisoners have been currently serving sentences from 20 years to lifelong. Many of their mental states have not improved. We are offering a new program to those serving long sentences who are due to be released in coming years. This program acts as a form of therapy. This program allows prisoners to get out their aggression both mentally and physically in a controlled environment among people who consent. This allows for prisoners to unleash their desires to help keep from mental buildup. The program is set up on the first floor and basement of Brigton County Jail. This program is set up to run like a haunted house, where participants will walk through a labyrinth of hallways where selected inmates will be dressed in costumes. These inmates will role play whatever costumes they want. Inmates will then be allowed to hit, beat, smack, stab, cut, shoot, burn, choke, and by any other means harm and torture willing participants, which may result in termination of life. Participants who sign this waiver are consenting to the above, and consenting to not retaliate against Brigton County Jail or any of the inmates participating in the program. If you hereby consent, please sign below.]

The members looked at both papers and saw both Taehyung's and Jungkook's names signed at the bottom. Yoongi stood up from the table and took the papers and threw them at the cop, "What the hell kind of bullshit psychopathic experiment is this?! Consenting to be beaten and murdered?! What the hell is wrong with you people?! Our babies never signed this! They were tricked into signing a different waiver and this waiver must've been hacked and their signatures were forged! We can show you the one they signed, it's on Jungkook's phone!"

The cop asked the members, " Where is Jungkook's phone?"

"Well if they parked at your stupid jail, it's in his car there," Yoongi couldn't believe what they were dealing with. The police officer asked for details about the car and told them to wait there while he went back and grabbed them. It was only a 25 minute drive from the hospital. "Please grab Taehyungie's phone too," Jimin asked the cop. The members sat in silence as they waited for the cop to return. About 45 minutes later he was back with both Jungkook's and Taehyung's phones.

Jin grabbed them both, and started to show the cop the text messages between Aaron and Jungkook. He showed the cop what Aaron had sent them about a waiver, and clicked the link to it. It did in fact bring up a link to a small waiver for Hylit Fright with a consent signature at the bottom. "This is the only waiver they signed. They never signed whatever you just showed us." Jin continued to scroll through the texts to see the ones where Aaron had sent them a link to an address. He clicked it, and it gave an address without a name. "Huh. That is the address to the jail," the cop seemed more interested in the situation now. He took Jungkook's phone and attached it to a little box device that hooked up to a laptop the cop had. It was a hacking track device, and the cop was able to trace the signatures to Aaron's phone number, and see that Aaron did in fact hack the link he sent so that when Jungkook digitally signed the names, the names registered onto the police program instead.

"I told you! See what did I tell you! They never consented! They never agreed to any of this! So you should arrest all the people who put them through this ! They were almost killed! That's attempted murder!" Yoongi was unleashing so much anger the others didn't even know he was capable of holding on to.

"The people at the jail did not commit a crime, to their knowledge the two had consented to the program. However, this Aaron guy. He can be arrested , if you would like to press charges," the cop told the members.

"Sir, I would like to press criminal charges. I'd like to charge him with ATTEMPTED MURDER! He knew he was doing this to them! He was trying to set them up to get killed!" Yoongi was still going.

The cop agreed that Aaron could in fact be charged with attempted murder, and various other charges related to fraud and hacking. The members were in shock that Aaron had done something like this. They tried so hard to get Jungkook away from him in the past, they felt guilty for not being more protective about them hanging out again. The cop said he was leaving to go file the official report, and wished the members good luck. He let them know he'd call with any information, and also said he hopes the two maknae's make it out okay. After the cop left, Jimin was browsing through the pictures on Taehyung's phone because there were a lot of selfie's on it and he missed him. Towards the end there were a bunch of pictures of Taehyung and Jungkook from the night before, and videos of them singing karaoke together. The members all began watching the videos, and it made their hearts hurt. They wished they could rewind time and stop them from leaving and getting in that car.

*******

A couple days had gone by and the members didn't leave the hospital. They stayed in Jungkook's room as often as they could, but the maknae was never up for much conversation. They decided not to ask Jungkook all the details of what happened, they didn't want him to relive it in his head. Usually all he would say is that he wanted to see Taehyung or he'd asked if Taehyung was awake yet. It broke everyone's hearts that he kept asking, and it broke theirs that their second maknae still hadn't woken up and still couldn't have visitors. They all missed him more than words could say. Jungkook was getting stronger though, he could stay awake for a longer period of time and he was able to have his heart monitor and oxygen mask taken off. Hobi still felt wheezy when he saw all the wires, but he knew Jungkook would be okay. The police had previously called Jin and told them that Aaron was found and arrested and would be in jail for a long time. Jin explained everything to Jungkook, he was quite upset but glad Aaron was caught.

They were huddled around Jungkook's bed when a new doctor came in, "Hello everyone, so I think you guys will be happy to hear that Mr. Taehyung can have visitors in his room now." Everyone jumped up from where they were sitting, even Jungkook tried sitting up but he was still took weak for that. "HE'S AWAKE?!"Jimin shouted. "He is," the doctor told them. Everyone's hearts felt like they were going to burst out of their chests, until they heard Jungkook start crying. "Maknae, why are you crying? That's good news!" Namjoon tried to reassure him. "You guys can see him, that doesn't mean I can. I'm hooked up to all this," he lifted his arms to show how he's still attached to too many machines. The members all felt bad realizing Jungkook still wasn't allowed to leave his room. He'd have to wait to see Taehyung. "I'm sorry Jungkookie. He's awake now though which means it's another day closer to you getting to see him too."

"Yeah...go see him. Tell him I love him please. And hyung's tell him I have Winter Bear!" the maknae asked. He knew Taehyung would be happy to hear he had Winter Bear. "Taehyung should have Pup-Pup too, I grabbed them both before we came here," Jimin winked at Jungkook before they all headed out of his room. He lay back down hugging Winter Bear and fell back asleep.

The members were led to Taehyung's room, they held their breath as the doctor opened the door to let them in, "I'll let you have some alone time. Please don't touch anything he's hooked up to," the doctor then left them alone. The room looked a lot like Jungkook's, although now Taehyung was the one hooked up to countless wires and a heart monitor. He had bruises, cuts, stitches, and bandages all over him. The members could see the line of bruises around his neck where he had been choked. Taehyung was supposed to be wearing an oxygen mask but kept refusing to wear it. Hobi, once again, ran to a trashcan to throw up. He couldn't handle seeing anyone hurt, let alone his brothers. Taehyung was laying still in the bed, his eyes were barely open. Jimin was happy to see that Taehyung was in fact cuddling Pup-Pup. They all walked up to him, and Taehyung just stared at them as silent tears streamed down his face. The members felt like they were having deja-vu, they all felt the same sadness and fear they had felt the first time they stepped into Jungkook's room nearly a week ago now.

Namjoon held Taehyung's hand, "Hi there," he spoke softly, "We've all really missed you."

Taehyung didn't respond, but then whispered through his tears , "Jungkookie," was all he could say as he just stared off into space.

"Jungkookie also really misses you. He said he loves you, and he wants you to know he has Winter Bear," Jimin gently stroked Taehyung's head. They all saw Teahyung's eyes light up, "He's okay?" he asked. "He's doing a hell of a lot better than you," Yoongi joked. This got a smile out of Taehyung. Hobi began rubbing Taehyung's arm, avoiding all the wires just like he did with Jungkook. He didn't realize this gesture would send Taehyung straight back to sleep. "Oh nice going Hobi! We just get him to wake up and you put him straight back to sleep!" Jin joked, all the members let out a chuckle. This was the moment they finally knew that everyone would be okay. It would take a long time, but they'd all be okay. Jimin took the oxygen mask Taehyung was refusing to wear and placed it on his face now that he was asleep. They all sat in his room for a little while, they couldn't express how badly they missed him. A doctor came in and asked them about having Jungkook transferred to a hospital closer to where they lived, but they denied the option because Taehyung couldn't be transferred yet and they didn't want them to be separated.

The members spent the next couple days bouncing back and forth between Taehyung's and Jungkook's hospital rooms. Taehyung was finally able to be unhooked from a lot of his wires, as was Jungkook. Namjoon requested that the two be moved into a shared room together, as they still haven't gotten to see eachother. The doctor granted the request and the day came when the two would finally be reunited. They were both brought into the same room while they were asleep, Jin thought it would be a great surprise for them to wake up to eachother. Taehyung woke up first and looked over to see Jungkook asleep in his bed. His heart almost burst out of his chest with joy. "Jungkook! Jungkookie wake up!!" he couldn't wait to hear Jungkook's voice again. The members huddled around Jungkook and gently shook him awake, "Jungkook, there is someone who wants to see you," Jin spoke softly. Jungkook opened his eyes and the members helped him turn towards Taehyung. The maknae immediately burst into tears and reached out his hand to Taehyung. Without a second thought, he tried to jump out of bed but almost fell until Yoongi caught him. Yoongi helped him walk over to Taehyung's bed and helped lift him up into it. The two youngest layed next to eachother and wrapped their arms around eachother without saying anything, they just cried together while their hyungs stood around them crying too.

"I thought you were dead," Jungkook cried into Taehyung's shoulder.

"I can't protect you if I'm dead," Taehyung kissed Jungkook's forehead. The two instantly fell asleep again holding eachother.

**********************

Six weeks had gone by before the two were discharged from the hospital and were allowed to go home. Taehyung had to use a wheelchair while his ribs were still healing. The doctor gave them an extensive list on how to take care of themselves at home. Taehyung and Jungkook both had to go through extensive therapy sessions, as both of them had developed severe anxiety. Their hyungs rearranged the bedroom situation and put Namjoon in the room with the two, they were too afraid to sleep in the room alone. Every night since they returned home Jungkook and Taehyung ended up in the same bed, so Jin bought them a bigger one for them to share. They both had a fear of going through closed doors, everyone tried their best to always leave all the doors open in the dorm, if they ever forgot then Taehyung and Jungkook would ask someone else to open it. They all had to deal with the two maknae's having a lot of nightmares now, so everyone would take turns comforting the two on various nights it happened. It got stressful at times and it was a lot to deal with, but all the members knew they'd rather be stressed out like this rather than have attended two funerals. None of the members ever tried to pry out of the maknae's everything that happened to them that night, they knew the truth would come out eventually, if they wanted it to. Aaron had gotten a 10 year sentence after being found guilty of countless other crimes aside from this one.

They had a long road of recovery ahead of them, but the seven of them knew that together they would make it through anything.

[[The End]]
